 * Hello,
 * I am developing an Android app which uses this API to register user with wordpress
   site.
    When i try to register from my network it gives me an HTML response which
   is actually a page which asks for Captch. Please have a look at [http://i.imgur.com/lqZ98r4.png](http://i.imgur.com/lqZ98r4.png)
 * However, it’s perfectly working fine at client side.
 * Please guide as soon as possible.
 * Thanks,
    Ankur

 * It is due to your captcha plugin installed in that wordpress installation. can
   you name the plugin?

 * We don’t have any captcha plugin installed.
    However, this same API works well
   with iOS applicaiton and even at client side if execute same API with parameters
   then it works over there.

 * it is definitely some plugin that is redirecting the registration request and
   showing the captcha, most probably ‘Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin’ is installed.

 * As someone suggested:
 * >  in stop spammers plugin settings disable the last 2 settings…I meant on settings
   > page…scroll to bottom…and last 2 options uncheck them….
 * try this.
 * It works for iOS cuz plugin script does not consider iOS app a spammer.

 * I did check but there is not settings option available.
 * Also, what happens is if i try to call API form browser then also it doesn’t 
   work and same way it does work on client side.
